I urge you to look at the early scsh papers. Olin's been there, done
that, (got the T-shirt, actually) and documented the whole thing over
10 years ago.
Conclusion as of today: scsh's shell syntax is already heavily
optimized towards minimizing the number of key strokes (while
preserving most of the Scheme syntax and semantics), but the notation
still isn't brief enough for interactive use.
